Last updated on: January 23, 2018 15:52 IST

Dengue strikes again and it is deadlier this time! It is one of the most common diseases caused by a mosquito called 'Aedes Aegypti'. Did you know that the most common breeding ground for these mosquitoes is stagnant water stored in and around your house? It is extremely important to keep your house mosquito-proof this season. Here are a few tips to follow on a daily basis to keep dengue at bay -

#1 Dengue mosquitoes enter your house during the day. Hence, you must keep the doors and windows closed to prevent the entry of the mosquitoes. Use a mosquito net on your windows to block the mosquitoes and not the ventilation.
